EXCISIONS FLAGSHIP PNW FESTIVAL CELEBRATES ITS 7TH YEAR WITH 80+ ARTISTS INCLUDING 3 EXCISION SETS, ADVENTURE CLUB, HEDEX, SPACE LACES, SVDDEN DEATH, TAPE B, WOOLI & MORE
Bass Canyon has officially unveiled its Phase One lineup for 2025, igniting excitement for its highly anticipated seventh edition taking place August 15–17, 2025, at the legendary Gorge Amphitheatre in Washington. Curated by Excision and set against one of North America’s most breathtaking natural backdrops, the Pacific Northwest’s largest bass music festival is primed to deliver another massive year with a dynamic and diverse artist roster.
In a creative twist, this week Bass Canyon launched “Decipher The Drop,” a nationwide scavenger hunt across 8 cities, where fans unlocked the earliest lineup reveals via hidden QR codes, meet-and-greets, and surprise pop-up performances. Cities including New York, Denver, Chicago, Montreal, Austin, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Phoenix lit up with appearances from artists sending fan speculation into overdrive ahead of today’s full drop. The first reveals of the lineup included Dion Timmer, HE$H, LYNY, Vampa, SoDown, GorillaT, DRINKURWATER, FOCUSS, Hairitage, REAPER, Smoakland, Cyclops, Sippy, Neotek, and LAYZ. The scavenger hunt generated viral momentum, capturing the adventurous spirit that defines the Bass Canyon community.
With more than 80 artists now confirmed for Phase One, the 2025 edition brings together some of the most in-demand names in bass music. This year’s festival will feature heavyweights Adventure Club, SVDDEN Death, Wooli, and Space Laces, genre disrupters Tape B, Of The Trees, and Hedex, as well as rising stars like ALLEYCVT, HOL!, Lumasi, Skellytn, Wonkywilla, and many more. True to tradition, Excision himself will take the stage for three sets: a high-octane solo performance, his signature Detox set, and a highly anticipated debut back-to-back with the enigmatic masked duo ATLiens. The curation reflects Excision’s continued dedication to showcasing the full spectrum of bass music across 3 days, promising to deliver another unforgettable chapter in Bass Canyon history.
Improvements for the Seventh Edition
As the festival marks its seventh year, Bass Canyon continues to grow in scope and ambition while preserving the tight-knit, community-driven spirit that has defined it since its debut. Held at the scenic Gorge Amphitheatre, the festival blends thunderous sound design, immersive production, and a loyal fan culture into a one-of-a-kind experience. Each summer, thousands make the pilgrimage to this natural amphitheater, where the dramatic cliffs and views of the Columbia River serve as a powerful setting for a weekend of catharsis and connection through music.
With tickets already on sale, Bass Canyon 2025 arrives with a wave of enhancements that raise the bar for the fan experience. In an unprecedented early launch, Bass Canyon opened ticket sales earlier than ever before, offering fans more time to prepare for the experience, attendees can still secure passes with just a $50 deposit. Transportation has also expanded with the addition of a Portland shuttle route, joining the longstanding Seattle options to make the journey more convenient. Campers will enjoy free showers, and VIP guests can look forward to upgraded Hilltop viewing areas, enhanced amenities, and an exclusive merch pack.
As the countdown begins, Bass Canyon is shaping up to be one of the most electrifying gatherings of the summer festival season.
